Bio
Riku has light brown or dark blonde hair and turqouise hair. He wears glasses due to poor eyesight.

When his sister, Chiyo, grew apart from the family and started shutting herself away, he didn't try to get her out physically but quickly came to the realisation that she wouldn't respond to that. Despite soon missing her, he started to casually chat with her which never was a problem. Their relationship remained strong.

Riku enjoys video games, just like his sister, and various TV shows. He quite likes superheros. He isn't a fan of idols; he prefers laternative music, but has been raised as a follower of AKB through his WOTA parents. If asked, he states his sister as favourite member. He has been to a few shows, but all were in relation to his sister.
